R2D2 Gets a Sidekick

ByChantel February 6, 2021

I had full intentions of writing a fostering update today. Next Saturday marks one year since R2D2 came into our home, I guess I’ll write that update next week, for now, here’s a mini (or not so mini) update.

On Wednesday we got a call and on Thursday R2D2’s little sister came into our home. In sticking with the Star Wars theme, her nickname online will be BB8.

BB8 was our one exception when we changed our range of acceptance last year.

She isn’t quite six months old and as of right now we have no idea how long she’ll be here.

I’m hoping to have more to share in next week’s update but I just wanted to share this for now.

Thanks to everyone who has prayed for us on our fostering journey!

If you are curious, our foster care timeline is here.

Why We Are Choosing to Foster (Instead of Adopting Again)

ByChantel October 6, 2019

We’ve had a number of people ask us in the last couple of months why we made the decision to start the process to become foster parents and specifically why foster care over another adoption, so, let’s chat about that! Next month marks five years since we adopted Ephraim! And while the journey to him was…

On Feeling Like a Failure

ByChantel May 9, 2020

This weekend is Mother’s Day weekend, so it feels pretty ironic that I am writing a post about feeling like a failure when it comes to mothering. The timing was not planned. I admitted here right off the bat that we were struggling ever since Cece was placed in our home. Our struggles were much…

How Do You Know if You’ve Been Called to Adopt (or Foster)?

ByChantel November 2, 2019

It’s Adoption Awareness Month and I have a number of ideas of posts to share for this month. I got a few different questions asked and I plan on answering them all over the next few weeks. Here’s a peek into what I hope to share (and I’m sure I’ll come up with more): how…

social services definition of “the weekend”

ByChantel January 10, 2023January 10, 2023

Just before New Year’s I shared that R2 and BB8 were over. We had gotten a call that they needed a place to stay for “the weekend” and in true social services form, “the weekend” means ten days. I think a few of us are surprised it ended up only being ten day though. A…

FOSTER CARE IS UNPREDICTABLE – I have no idea if we’ll have 2, 4 or 6 kids next month – UPDATE

ByChantel July 26, 2021

I’ve got another foster care update for you today! All I can say is that the system is unpredictable and I try not to be surprised and just plan for anything and everything to happen!

The Foster Care System is Unpredictable & Our First Placement!

ByChantel October 25, 2019

Like I mentioned last week, our social worker told us to expect a call early this week. Rae was already disappointed when a call didn’t come on Friday. By the end of the day Monday she was devastated. She had pretty much reduced to a constant moan. Ha, I told her to enjoy the quiet…
